Easton EC70 Wheels

14 / 15

Whether you’re shopping for a hardcore XC racer or dedicated trail rider, these carbon wheels are sure to please. At just 1,460 grams (for the 29er model) they weigh only 44 grams more than the more expensive EC90s, though they forgo the UST tubeless rim profile. The front hub comes in standard QR or 15mm thru-axle options. Rear hub options include 10x135mm QR, or a convertible model that accepts 12x135mm or 12x142mm thru-axles. The rim has an internal width of 20mm, which provides a solid footprint that should improve trail feel. Price: Info:
